Can you tell the difference between porcelain veneers and natural teeth?

Question

I am considering getting veneers on my upper laterals. My dentist advised that I may want to consider getting my two front teeth done as well and perhaps even the canines too. I don't really want to get veneers where I don't need to - I don't want to meddle with healthy teeth. But if it is quite noticeable - or often becomes quite noticeable over time - the difference between veneers (on laterals) and natural teeth then I would consider getting more than just the laterals done.

just decide whether u want to go with veneers or not. post results will look like a natural teeth only. so u can go for any no of teeth , but u will get excellent results in canine to canine case. because in that all anteriors will look same and perfect.

Its hard to answer this question because I cannot see what thecentral incisors and cuspids look like.  As a general statementyou can have a master ceramist perform a custom shade matchand get it super close.  Great photography and ideal lighting conditionswill help the process along.  There are patients that exhibit a multitude ofcolor variations and translucency differences in their teeth.  Patientswith hard to match colors may benefit from having more teeth veneeredto keep them harmonious.  Please post some photos.
